qi{ N the following pages we have endeavored to present, in as 
clear and brief manner as possible, description and _ illustra- 
tions of our elevators. The illustrations are made from 


photographs or drawings of our own machinery, and are 





correct in detail. We claim for our elevators many special 
advantages, principally, safety, quiet running, and ease of oper- 
ation. Our elevators are provided with every known. safety 
appliance. Our facilities for manufacturing are unsurpassed, we 
use only the very best materials in construction, and every 
part of our elevators 1s built in our own Factory, under our 
own patents. 

We would like to call special attention to our ELecrric 
Evevators, which have become so widely known, and which have 
given such universal satisfaction. We respectfully invite the 
attention of Owners, Architects, Builders and others who may 


need elevators, to the following description of our machinery.

Description of Electric Elevators. 


“A. B. SEB” ELECTRIC ELEVATOR. 


Dhe great ‘popularity: ofthis: elevators largely» due to’ the fact that it«is “always 
ready for use, it is simple and compact, there are no complicated parts to get out of order, 
and the engine takes up very little room. All parts of the machine are combined on one 
cast iron base, and it can be-put on any-floor close to. the elevator shaft. 

The Electric Elevator is specially adapted for high speed. passenger and freight ser- 
Vicewmancrrity iGuidst replacinossteam and hydraulic elevators, where. the electric current can 
be had for office buildings, apartment houses, stores, warehouses, hotels, hospitals and 
private residences. It is the most economical of all elevators to run, as it uses no power, 
except when in actual operation, and then only in proportion to the work to be performed. 
The machine is noiseless in eperation, does away with all heat, smoke, dust and dirt, and 
requires no skilled attendant. 

In construction, we use only the very best materials and workmanship, and every 
part is made in our own factory, under our own personal supervision, and under our own 
patents. 

We always have one of these elevators running at our Factory, and are glad to 


have purchasers call at any time to see them in operation or in course of construction.

ELEVATOR. 




















STEAM ELEVATORS. 


The term “Steam Elevators,” as commonly used, refers to that class of elevators in 
which a steam hoisting or elevator engine is used, and the car is connected directly to it 
by means of the wire rope. 

This term distinguishes it from “Belted Elevators,” which are run indirectly by steam 
power from line shafting, which in turn is driven by a steam engine or other power. 

The Steam Elevator Engines are usually placed near the wellhole, and the steam is 
piped to them directly from the boiler. Each engine is provided with a grooved iron drum, on 
which is wound the iron cables used in raising and lowering the elevator car. 

These engines are made in two styles; the worm-gear and the spur-gear. The 
former are used principally for passenger service on account of their quiet, smooth running, 
and the latter are used for freight and heavy work on account of the small friction in the 


spur-gear. 


HYDRAULIC ELEVATORS. 


These elevators are used in buildings where there is high pressure steam to run a pump, 
or in Towns or Cities where the water pressure is high. In the latter case, the water is taken 
into the cylinder directly from the mains, to raise the car, and in lowering, the water passes 
into a waste pipe. 

Where a steam pump is used to obtain the needed pressure, there are two systems—the 
“pressure tank” and the “open tank on the roof.” In the former case, water is taken from a 
supply tank, pumped into a closed pressure tank, and drawn from there to the cylinder to raise 
the car, and in lowering, the water is discharged into the supply tank to be used over again. In 
the second system, an open tank is used on the roof, and water is pumped into this tank, which, 
because of its location, gives the required pressure. This water is drawn off into the cylinder 
and returned to the supply tank, as in the ‘pressure tank” system. The only material difference 
in the two systems is that in the “pressure tank” system all the tanks and machinery can be 
placed in the basement, and the steam must be always on the pump to supply the tank when 
the pressure is reduced, while for the ‘tank on the roof” two lines of pipe must be carried from 
the basement to the roof, but it has an offsetting advantage in that water may be pumped into 


the tank to last a number of trips, to run the elevator without running the pump.

IRON FRAME, DOUBLE-GEARED BELT ELEVATOR. 


BELT ELEVATORS. 


The above term applies to elevators driven by belts from line shafting, which shaft- 
ing may be driven by Electric Motor, Steam Engine or Gas Engine. A_ broad-faced 
pulley is placed on the shaft which drives two belts, an open and a cross belt; these in turn 
travel on two loose pulleys when the elevator is at rest. To raise the elevator one belt is 
shifted to a tight pulley and turns it in one direction; to lower the elevator the other belt, 
which is running in the opposite direction, is shifted to the tight pulley. These machines 
are of two general types—the screw machines and the spur-gear machines. The devices for 
shifting the belts and applying and releasing the brake are practically the same in each type. 
The difference in the machines, as the name indicates, is mainly a difference of gearing. 

The spur-gear machine has a pinion attached to the pulley shaft, which meshes into 
a gear, on an intermediate shaft, which in turn, carries a pinion which meshes into a large 
CcimeOnmcicwcrum shalt. bysthissmeans thesspecdso! the pulley shatteis reduced: toewhatus 
required on the drum shaft, with a corresponding increase of power. 

In the Screw Machine there is a steel screw on the pulley shaft, which engages 
directly with a large bronze worm-gear attached to the drum shaft. In both cases the 
hoisting rope is connected to the car and runs to a grooved drum, which, to hoist or lower, 
winds or unwinds the rope as the drum is revolved. 

These machines are used largely in places provided with line shafting, which is used 
to drive other machinery. 

(hese machines can be placed on thesiloor or under the ceiling. — [hey are usually 
placed under the ceiling, as in this way they take up no valuable space. 

On page 17 is shown a spur-gear machine in position on the ceiling, running from 
a countershaft, driven by a gas engine, and on page 16 is shown a worm-gear machine, 


similarly placed, and driven by an electric motor.

HAND ELEVATORS. 


On the four preceding pages we have shown different types of Hand Elevators. This 
term applies to all elevators in which hand power is used in hoisting the load. A machine 
of this type is useful in buildings where the elevator is used so little that it would not pay 
to introduce steam, electric or other power. 

For ordinary freight work these elevators are built to use on standard cars, as shown 
on page 27, and are provided with safety devices to hold the car at any point in case the 
lifting cable should break. They are built of any size, from the smallest to a size large 
enough to carry railroad cars. They are also used largely in stables, and in many cases for 
private houses, for passengers or trunks; in the latter case, we often use the car on page 21. 

On page 28 is shown a Four-Rope Carriage Elevator, which is largely used in 
stables where the overhead room does not permit of a side post car, or where the culde 
posts would be objectionable on the first floor. 

All the above elevators are operated by means of a hand rope, which passes down 
through the floors, alongside of which is a brake rope, so that the elevator can be operated 
from any floor, and then by pulling the brake rope, it is stopped at any point and locked 
firmly in position. 

Another type of Hand Elevator is operated by turning a crank. Two styles are 
shown on pages 29 and 30. The first is used for Carriage Elevators, usually where they 
run only one or two stories, and the second cut shows a Sidewalk Elevator, as usually 
employed to hoist goods from a cellar or subcellar to the sidewalk. In both of these machines 
we use a double-geared iron frame winding machine, provided with a brake for lowering 


and a device to hold the load at any point.

This motor is constructed entirely of steel, and represents the very latest and most 


improved type known to electrical science. Its simplicity of construction is obvious, and it 


is one of the most efficient motors ever designed. 


Our patents cover the details and general form of the motor itself, and of the brushes. 
















































































































































































































































































These motors are used in any case where electric power can be obtained, not only 
for running elevators, but for an infinite variety of purposes. 

We build them for 110, 220 and 500 volts, and from one to twenty horse-power. 
They are used exclusively on our own Electric Elevators and Electric Pumps, and have a 


wide reputation for durability and efficiency.

‘‘A. B. SEE”? ELECTRIC PUMP. 


In high buildings, where the water pressure is not sufficient to force the water to 
the top stories, it is found necessary to provide a tank on the roof and a pump to fill it. 
The simplest and cheapest way of doing this is by means of an Electric Pump. The cut 
on this page shows one designed by us especially for this service. The “A. B. See” Motor is 
used and an automatic switch is provided of special design, which is operated by the water 


in the tank. When. the water is low. it turns the current into the motor and starts the 





4 









































































































































ee io uy _ 


“jo 


















































































































































pump, which runs until the tank is full, and then the current is shut off automatically which 
stops the pump until the water is low again. 

We build them of several sizes, and they can be used in any case where a pump is 
needed and where the electric power can be had; but they are used principally for house 


service, as described above.
